Addresses #5807
Description
Following the helpful direction in @jtcohen6's gist, this DRAFT PR WHICH SHOULD NOT BE MERGED OR EVEN JUDGED, maps the old attributes in the manifest to the new ones and overwrites the expression metric type to derived.
What it is currently missing is some form of warn message at compile. I will need to add that before I can start addressing any weaknesses it may be missing in the tests.
I've tested this in a local branch and on a test dbt project to confirm that the manifest produced does look correct even with the old metric spec.
